SUNY honored eight members of the SUNY Cobleskill community in 2019. Their collective dedication to the College, its vision, mission, and values, make this year’s honorees a distinguished class.

The Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence honors SUNY students who best-demonstrate the integration of academic excellence with other aspects of their lives, such as leadership, campus involvement, athletics, career achievement, community service, or creative and performing arts. Recipients from all 64 SUNY institutions gather at a ceremony in Albany in April to receive their awards. This year’s winner was Allison Finch.

Finch, a Binghamton native and Animal Science major, held leadership roles in four campus organizations in 2018-19, and is currently vice president of the Student Government Association. She has presented at two Northeast Regional Honors Council Conferences, and is actively involved in campus-wide community service initiatives.

“It is fitting that the Award for Student Excellence recognizes the vast and diverse accomplishments of its winners,” says College President Marion A. Terenzio. “In Allison’s case this award spans a broad spectrum of success that not only makes our campus a better place to live and learn, but prepares Allison for success in her academic, social, and professional endeavors. This is a well-earned honor.”
